8 November 1992 The Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, TN
You're Gonna Need Someone On Your SideThis concert wasn't as crazy as the recent Texas ones. There weren't any barriers, but deputies were taking care of security. They stood in line at the front of the stage, blocking fans who tried to reach Morrissey. Many still made it up to their idol, particularly during the encore of "The National Front Disco". Morrissey himself didn't seem to appreciate having to perform behind those deputies. It didn't help when one of them mocked someone dancing in the audience. After the encore, it was Boz's turn to make fun of security, he stood in line between them and held his guitar as if it was a gun. There was no change in the setlist, except for "Sister I'm A Poet" being replaced by "Everyday Is Like Sunday". After "November Spawned A Monster", Morrissey started to say something, but typical of him, he didn't end his sentence: "I must confess that I was errr...". He managed to say the whole of what he meant to say later in the concert, after "He Knows I'd Love To See Him". Because the concert wasn't sold out, Morrissey felt he had to thank the fans who had turned up: "I was just gonna say before... I wanted to say thank you for turning up because I actually didn't think anybody would". In "The Loop", fans on stage kept Morrissey away from his microphone for a verse or two. In set closer "The National Front Disco", he was again interrupted by fans. As usual, the song ended in an extended jam of feedback while Morrissey, after getting rid of the shirt he had changed into for the encore, escaped the venue.
